不同雷诺数下二维椭圆柱绕流的数值模拟研究

利用计算流体力学软件Fluent对不同雷诺数(Re=100,3900,3.5×10~6)下二维椭圆柱绕流进行了数值模拟研究,分析了不同轴长比(2b/2a=cosθ,θ=0°,15°,30°,45°,60°)下椭圆柱绕流的特性。通过对比尾部涡流情况、升力系数C_L、阻力系数C_D以及斯特劳哈尔数St初步发现:由于椭圆形截面偏流线型的特点,在三种雷诺数下随着θ的增大椭圆柱绕流尾涡强度减小,流场的变化使圆柱表面的压力系数减小,最终导致圆柱的升力系数幅值与阻力系数均值减小。而斯特劳哈尔数St在三种雷诺数下的变化不同,随着θ的增大,层流雷诺数(Re=100)下St值减小;亚临界雷诺数(Re=3900)下St值在45°处轻微上扬,在60°处明显减小;超临界雷诺数(Re=3.5×10~6)下St值增大。     

高雷诺数下多柱绕流特性研究

采用改进的延迟分离涡方法数值模拟了高雷诺数下的柱体绕流,包括单圆柱绕流、单方柱绕流、串列双圆柱绕流和串列双方柱绕流,研究了不同雷诺数下圆柱绕流与方柱绕流的水动力特性.计算结果与实验数据及其他文献的数值计算结果吻合良好,研究表明,单方柱绕流在2.0×10~3Re1.0×10~7范围内未出现类似于单圆柱绕流的阻力危机现象,其平均阻力系数C_d、升力系数均方根C'_1及斯特劳哈尔数S t维持在一定范围内波动.串列双圆柱绕流与串列双方柱绕流中,均选取L/D=2.0,2.5,3.0,3.5和4.0这五中间距比进行计算.串列双圆柱绕流中,当Re=2.2×10~4时,在3.0L/D3.5内存在一临界间距比(L_c/D)使得L_c/D前后上下游圆柱的升阻力系数发生跳跃性变化,且当L/DL_c/D时,下游圆柱的阻力系数为负数.而当Re=3.0×10~6时,则不存在临界间距比,且下游圆柱的阻力系数始终为正数.串列双方柱绕流在Re=1.6×10~4和Re=1.0×10~6两种工况下的临界间距比分别处于3.0L/D3.5和3.5L/D4.0区间内,且当L/DL_c/D时,两个雷诺数下的下游方柱阻力系数均为负数.

较高Re数圆柱尾流的控制

引入一个窄条作为控制件，在Re=3.0×10 3~2.0×10 4范围内对圆柱尾流进行控制实验。窄条长度与柱体长度相同,厚 度为柱体直径的 0.015~0.025倍,宽度为柱体直径的0.18倍. 窄条的两个长边 与柱中心轴平行, 而且三者共面. 控制参数为窄条位置, 可由间距(窄条到柱轴)比λ/(0.5D)和风向角β (窄 条面与来流的夹角)确定. 采用流动显示和热线测量方法,对控制和未控制尾流的流动状态, 平均速度分布和脉动速度情况,以及作用于柱体和控制件的总阻力进行了研究和比较. 研究结果证明, 当窄条位于柱体尾流中一定区域内时, 可有效抑制柱体两侧的旋涡脱落.有效控制后的尾流湍流度也相应减小. 在不同Re数下,找出了有效抑制旋涡脱落的窄条位置区域, 并用动量积分估计了作用于柱体和窄条上的总阻力与光圆柱阻力的比值及其随风向角的变 化. 对λ/(0.5D)=2.9情况,得到了减阻的风向角区域(β=0°~40°与180°附近)以及最大减阻率32%.以上事实表明，在近尾流局部区域施加小的干扰,可改变较高Re数圆柱尾流的整体性质.

On the topological bifurcation of flows around a rotating circular cylinder

Flow fields around a rotating circular cylinder in a uniform stream are computed using a low dimensional Galerkin method. Reslts show that the formation of a Fopple vortex pair behind a stationary circular cylinder is caused by the structural instability in the vicinity of the saddle located at the rear of the cylinder. For rotating cylinder a bifurcation diagram with the consideration of two parameters, Reynolds numberRe and rotation parameter α, is built by a kinematic analysis of the steady flow fields.

Non-Newtonian flow past a sphere in a long cylindrical tube

Consideration is given to the problem of a sphere falling along the axis of a vertical cylindrical tube containing a viscoelastic fluid. Numerical predictions of the flow are obtained using a well established finite element Galerkin mixed formulation. The effect of elasticity on the streamline pattern, the drag and the stress field are discussed.     

Experimental investigation on wake characteristics behind a yawed square cylinder

The wake vortical structures of a square cylinder at different yaw angles to the incoming flow ($\alpha =$0°, 15°, 30° and 45°) are studied using a one-dimensional (1D) hot-wire vorticity probe at a Reynolds number (Re) of about 3600. The results are compared with those obtained in a yawed circular cylinder wake. The Strouhal number (St_N) as well as the mean drag coefficient ($C_{D_N}$), normalized by the velocity component normal to the cylinder axis, follow the independent principle (IP) satisfactorily up to $\alpha =$40°. Using the phase-averaging analysis, both the coherent and the remaining contributions of velocity and vorticity are quantified. The flow patterns of the coherent spanwise vorticity (${\omega }_z$) display obvious Kármán vortex streets and their maximum concentrations decrease as $\alpha$ increases. Similar phenomena are also shown in the coherent contours of the streamwise ($u$) and transverse ($v$) velocities as well as the Reynolds shear stress ($uv$). The contours of the spanwise velocity ($w$) and Reynolds shear stress ($uw$), however, experience an increasing trend for the maximum concentrations with increasing yaw angle. These results indicate an enhancement of the three-dimensionality of the wake and the reduction of vortex shedding strength as $\alpha$ increases. While general similarities to the wake behind a yawed circular cylinder are found in terms of flow features, some differences between the two wakes at different yaw angles are highlighted.     

An immersed interface method for flow past circular cylinder in the vicinity of a plane moving wall

Two‐dimensional flows past a stationary circular cylinder near a plane boundary are numerically simulated using an immersed interface method with second‐order accuracy. Instead of a fixed wall, a moving wall with no‐slip boundary is considered to avoid the complex involvement of the boundary layer and to focus only on the shear‐free wall proximity effects for investigating the force dynamics and flow fields. To analyze the convergence and accuracy of our implementation, numerical studies have been first performed on a simple test problem of rotational flow, where the second order of convergence is confirmed through numerical experiments and an optimal range of relative grid‐match ratio of Lagrangian to Eulerian grid sizes has been recommended. By comparing the force quantities and the Strouhal number, the accuracy of this method has been demonstrated on the flow past a stationary isolated cylinder. The cylinder is then put in proximity to the wall to investigate the shear‐free wall proximity effects in the low Reynolds number regime (20≤Re≤200). The gap ratio, e/D, where e denotes the gap between the cylinder and the moving wall and D denotes the diameter of the cylinder, is taken from 0.10 to 2.00 to determine the critical gap ratio, (e/D)_critical, for the alternate vortex shedding, where the fluid forces, flow fields and the streamwise velocity profiles are studied. One of the key findings is that the (e/D)_critical for the alternate vortex shedding decreases as the Reynolds number increases. We also find that, in this low Reynolds number regime, the mean drag coefficient increases and peaks at e/D = 0.5 with the increase of e/D and keeps decreasing gently from e/D = 0.5 to e/D = 2.0, while the mean lift coefficient decreases monotonically with the increase of e/D. New correlations are then proposed for computing force coefficients as a function of Re and e/D for a cylinder in the vicinity of a moving plane wall. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

层合圆柱三维温度场分析的半解析-精细积分法

针对圆柱体的三维温度场分析,提出了一种高效的半解析-精细积分法。将温度场展开为环向坐标的Fourier级数,并对径向坐标进行差分离散,从而把三维热传导方程简化为一系列二阶常微分方程;将这些二阶常微分方程转化为哈密顿体系下的一阶状态方程,并利用两点边值问题的精细积分法求解。由于该方法仅对径向坐标进行差分离散,故相对于传统的数值方法离散规模大幅度减少,不仅提高了计算效率、降低了存贮量,而且缓解了代数方程的病态问题。此外,针对Fourier半解析解,根据热平衡原理推导出了两种材料衔接面的半解析差分方程,从而为求解复合材料层合柱问题打下了基础。算例结果表明,即使对于细长比高达400的圆柱杆件,此方法仍然可以给出精度较高的解答。     

Control of stress response in a rotating infinite hollow multilayered piezoelectric cylinder

The theoretical study of the control of stress is developed for a rotating infinite hollow multilayered radially polarized piezoelectric cylinder. The exact solution is obtained by means of the state-space method. As an illustrative example, the distribution of the radial and tangential stresses in a rotating hollow internally pressurized five-layered piezoelectric cylinder subjected to different electric potential at the internal and external surfaces are performed. Numerical results show that the distribution of the stress can be controlled by applying appropriate electric potentials at the correct surfaces.     

Validation of a novel very large eddy simulation method for simulation of turbulent separated flow

The paper describes the validation of a newly developed very LES (VLES) method for the simulation of turbulent separated flow. The new VLES method is a unified simulation approach that can change seamlessly from Reynolds‐averaged Navier–Stokes to DNS depending on the numerical resolution. Four complex test cases are selected to validate the performance of the new method, that is, the flow past a square cylinder at Re = 3000 confined in a channel (with a blockage ratio of 20%), the turbulent flow over a circular cylinder at Re = 3900 as well as Re = 140,000, and a turbulent backward‐facing step flow with a thick incoming boundary layer at Re = 40,000. The simulation results are compared with available experimental, LES, and detached eddy simulation‐type results. The new VLES model performs well overall, and the predictions are satisfactory compared with previous experimental and numerical results. It is observed that the new VLES method is quite efficient for the turbulent flow simulations; that is, good predictions can be obtained using a quite coarse mesh compared with the previous LES method. Discussions of the implementation of the present VLES modeling are also conducted on the basis of the simulations of turbulent channel flow up to high Reynolds number of Re_τ = 4000. The efficiency of the present VLES modeling is also observed in the channel flow simulation. From a practical point of view, this new method has considerable potential for more complex turbulent flow simulations at relative high Reynolds numbers.

Boundary element method to solve torsion problem of cracked cylinder

Separating the discontinuous solution by use of the single crack solution, together with the regular solution of harmonic function, the torsion problem of a cracked cylinder is reduced to solving a set of mixed-type integral equations and its numerical technique is then proposed by combining the numerical method of singular integral equation with the boundary element method. Several numerical examples are calculated which will be useful to engineering practice. The method proposed is characterized by its fine accuracy and convenience for using, which can be extended to the cases of multiple crack.The project supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China.
